Here you can use your email list, just create a campaign where you email out your new blog post to your list or even if you don’t have an email list but you have people you have a close relationship through friendship, simply drop them a short email with a link to your blog post.
You can set up your blog publishing features so that when you publish your posts, they are automatically shared to your social networks like Facebook, Twitter or G+ and your followers can see them in their feeds. You can also share in Groups in the same niche as yours.
